Kanuhura is a quintessential playground

Kanuhura lends itself to an incredible range of activities. Which means that while you are making the most of your time away indulging in some much-deserved downtime, you can rest assured your children are excellently catered for.

There are also weekly cooking classes, arts and crafts workshops, fishing trips, movie nights (set under the incredible Maldivian night sky), scavenger hunts and chocolate making classes included in the Kids Club programme. At the K Club, every day promises a new and exhilarating experience.

Tailored Kid's Menus

At Bottega, Veli and the K Club itself, Kanuhura offers special menus created with younger guests in mind.

While teens don’t quite require the attention of younger fans, at Kanuhura they are definitely not forgotten.

The programme for teens includes an array of exciting more age-appropriate activities such as football, beach volleyball and fishing trips.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.

Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.

Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.

The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.

We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.

Regional connections from across the UK are available.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!

That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.
